This short Lois Weber movie is painful to watch, not because the movie isn't good but because you know the character is going to resort to desperate means. The movie is about a poor working girl. Her shoes are in poor condition and her life could be better if her father would just contribute to the household. The director takes plenty of shots of the shoes and it is obvious to the viewer that they can't last much longer. When the character resorts to desperate means to get a new pair it isn't easy to watch. This movie isn't really about the shoes. It's about poverty and it's a sad statement on what people resort to just to get by.
